You were absolutely right, There was a special section to the right of the menu creating area. And you had to check a blog format. That enabled a menu below to choose from which category the feed on the page would show. And then I changed the categories to pages on the menu and it all worked. Thanks for your help dear volunteer moderator.

Seems the pages where the lists exists are permalinked to the posts with that category. I am not sure how that works. Custom menu was first created by a friend. And she did something for those permalinks to continue to link. So when I added categories and then tried adding them as pages, no permalinks.

Dear Jeremy,
Wow. I stuck her in 2012 and the evilness was gone. Not sure how to proceed except with a redesign but it seems the universe is ushering me forward. Thank you for helping me engineer a step towards happiness.

As one of those casual users, thank you. After upgrading to 3:5:1, I discovered the menu could collapse. Which enabled me to read all of what I was writing. But then the menu expanded. And now I want to collapse. Jetpack was the only plugin I messed with recently and that wasn’t it. I have read above comments, and although I would have no idea how to fiddle with code, I will try the user admin change trick and see if that happens. Also the screen pixels was new to me. So thanks for something that hopefully won’t be nothing.
Love,
Shalagh
